I've Sold Out. I Hope.

05/26/09 - So the astute haganblog reader may have discovered by now that there are ad's placed strategically on the top of the main page. And probably the subpages too. I'm not sure, I didn't bother to check. The reason for this is simple. I saw an ad that advertised selling space to put ad's on your blog page. So I thought to myself, SELF! You have a lot of space on your blogspot that you AREN'T using! My inner voice likes to speak in italics, all caps, and exclamation points. Why not sell this space and make some money! ALSO, you should sell your kidney! You really only NEED one...! I ignored this second recommendation, but the first intrigued me. So i signed up for this service, and began waiting for the money to flow in. As it turns out, I only get paid when someone clicks on the ad's on my page. Also, I can't click on them myself. Which annoyed me: what if I saw something being advertised that I liked, or was interested in? I'm not allowed to click on it. I really feel like that's not fair. I clicked on that first ad. Obviously I'm one of the few people on the internet that click on those annoying little ad's, but I can't even click on the ones on my own site! Because of a conflict of interest or something. Which really it wouldn't be. I'd be interested in both my blog and the ad. But they don't really care about that.

Anyway, this is now no longer an indie blog. I'm commercialized. Let the boycotts begin. Oh, wait. What's that you say? The hipsters never read my blog? So they've technically been boycotting it since its inception? Well played indie punks. Well played indeed.
